The Lake

Sometimes in life,

I have to say

That I feel as if,

I'm losing my way

 

Moral dilemmas,

Such acapellas,

To my daily life,

Are a real strife

 

Socialisng,

Can be so dull,

Unless of course,

You overflow,

With beauteous words to bestow

 

Popularity and work,

Go hand in hand,

To bring you wealth,

In the world of men

 

But to what purpose,

I often wonder,

Is traditional status,

To the humble worker?

 

Sunk beneath the lake of life,

Without success,

Is there a point,

Upon which,

You will anoint

 

Some new goal

For the soul?

 

The best option,

I'm sad to say,

Is that hedonism,

Is here to stay

 

What greater pleasure,

Is beyond measure,

Than real love,

And surely that,

Is a blessed treasure?
